-a Future Night Stalkers romance story- Mission: Canmerica (East and West) have long since fallen. China and Russia, well, the less said the better. The UK’s vast habitats float safely above the far side of the Moon—and Canmerica’s Delta Force and Night Stalkers have joined them there. No one knows quite what the Australians and Kiwis have done.

Using it as a reflector, India has literally burned all of her neighboring rivals from the face of the Earth. It has been untouchable, until Luci

The Laugavegur is one of the big walks. It is the most famous trek in Iceland and crosses other worldly landscapes formed by recent volcanos. I did it from north to south and it runs over 80km from Landmannalauger via Thorsmork to Skogar on the coast. The trail is normally open from late June to mid-August. I started on the 15 June, the first day the bus ran to Landmannalaugar. I hadn't booked the huts as I didn't know whether I'd make it. So I took camping gear. The scenery is sensational and unlike anywhere I'd been before. At this time of the year there is still a lot of snow. I was alone much of the time, having started early in the year. There were three river crossings in flood and I needed to strip and take care. You pass through vivid rhyolite mountains, climb snow slopes, cross ash deserts, rift canyons and glacial streams. There are wild flowers, sweet birch and the cries of redshank and ptarmigan. I did the trek from Landmannalaugar to Skogar in 4 days including the bus trips at either en

The cover of this beautiful 4" x 6" 50-page notebook features a colorful panoramic view of the Yosemite National Park in California. Here is some of the theory behind the beauty and potential of a blank page: "A person can get lost trying to find a home in herself––but then you simply begin to go on as one must go on, and maybe you say a little something to yourself every once in a while just to practice being with words, meeting silence, meeting yourself again, and maybe you frequent empty rooms to familiarize yourself with the meaning of space as in a blank page, and yourself in it, and maybe you scribble like this will help you come home to yourself, but eventually you fit things together, and what made no sense finds its way into something plausible by virtue of its sheer existence."

Before we begin... Many of these “shorts” as I like to call them unfold on altered versions of earth. Subtle variations on the current state of humanity based on a single, monumental decision, or simply the fate of a nation who has lost its bearings, Terra (earth) is the backdrop for four of these tales. With each additional turn of page and each passing account, we find the worlds darker, the stakes higher. We begin with a simple test of love and courage in the waters of a far off ocean world, move through the razor-sharp grasslands to avoid the fiercest of predators, exchange hot lead over the skies of Alabama, watch as a man tries to keep his humanity in world with no laws, look through the eyes of an ancient architect pondering the sacred blue planet while cloaked behind a moon, share a glimpse of the future and teleportation’s dark side and finally, we bask is in the glow of the ultimate retirement plan. Each of these tales is more than a simple beginning and e

Rabindranath Tagore was an Indian polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as "the Bard of Bengal".
